bag ban in action

[terracore]

We have always reused/recycled our shopping bags. Usually for holding trash or dog crap. The supply we had has now been used up, so now we have to go buy plastic bags that will never be recycled to replace the ones that we were recycling. Net benefit to the environment is negative. And agree with Oregonwoodsmoke... the few times I actually do remember to bring the reusable bags I'll be distributing a fair amount of dog hair into the produce section of the store (and our dogs get Revolution about every month, so it will be full of chemicals), then probably dragging some salmonella juices onto the conveyor belt at the check out, so be sure to wash your food thoroughly after you get it home. But feel good about.... actually I'm not sure what you should feel good about, I'll be buying as many plastic bags that I used to get for free, and your food prices are higher because of the ban and the ocean currents from Asia will still be dragging as many plastic bags into our biosphere as before so feel good about... I don't know, taking our liberties away?
